Retail $50. A field blend of 60 grapes: 20% Syrah, 20% Muscats (8 different varieties), 18% Cinsaut, 14% Zinfandel, 4% Dolcetto, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Sangiovese, 2% Alicante Bouschet, 2% Petit Sirah, 1% Mourvedre, and the remaining 12% includes Einset, Blue Portuguese, Viognier, and others. Perhaps the pinnacle of the ACORN line, the Medley really showcases Bill's approach to farming and winemaking. An intense process that I could never begin to explain, but this is the wine that is made first, all other decisions follow. Rich and fruity on the palate with considerable depth. Really a lovely wine and the wine that for many defines what Bill and Betsy are doing at ACORN. Fantastic. And a whoa.
The nose is full of pure fruit essence accented by peppercorn, lavender, and a tinge of Italian parsley over earth. The palate entry is exuberant mélange of fruit, spice, herb with a dense core accented with cedar, crisp acidity, and lengthy java and spice. Drink 2020 – 2027.
